Chapter 58: Learning The Art Of Cooking
"Ow!" the knife dropped from my hand instantly. My teary eyes fell on the small wound I have given myself, it was just a grease but that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt and bleed, my eyes darted to the rest of the small bandage covering my fingers. It was a nightmare! I wonder how Elvenia does this. The whole day I spent in this kitchen was nothing but pain for me, if the smoke didn’t get to my eyes it would be my throat and worse, chopping vegetables was a nightmare.
"Perhaps you should retire, young miss"
I turned to Elvenia and bit my bottom lip, feeling uneasy from her dark gaze. "Be honest with me" I began gulping. "How do I do so far?"
She blinks, before sighing probably fed up. I knew she didn’t want me here, it was either keep this or that in the exact same position, she practically worshiped this kitchen.
"You’re the worst and I do not see you learning anything related to this kitchen" She took my hand and brought them to my eye level. "This is a disaster, I’m afraid you will have to retire and not do this again, Master will scold me when he finds out"
I pulled away. "Well if I can’t cook then teach me to bake!"
"You haven’t even learned the basics and yet you want to bake" she clearly huffed at this point but she had forgotten something. I was quite determined if I had to do something, William taught me that.
"Then I have to be good at something at least" I mumbled, facing the catastrophe I call chopping, the vegetables all over the place if not on the floor too. Elvenia was right... I was the worst but that doesn’t mean I can’t get better.
"Why are you so determined to learn this? I’m the housekeeper of this place, you need not worry about such things, these are beneath you"
